"The strike up to the Foote plant's on its last legs," said the man, loudly. "So I hear," answered another. "Infernal shame. If it was only the closed-shop question I dunno's I'd feel so. We're open shop here but we git treated like human bein's.... Over there " The man shrugged his shoulders. "Look at the way they've fought the strike. Don't blame 'em for fightin' it.
